Feeling Sulky?/ Ruby Tuesday

Sulky on a private track (beside a major road) in East Gwillimbury

Note that both the driver and the horse are wearing red.

Here they come again!

    Pretty cold to be "dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh" round a practice track in this sort of weather.

    This horse looks like he need no red to fight.
    The jockey is stylishly red against he white landscape.

    Nice trotter, practicing for the harness racing track. I don't bet, but to be at a track working a horse and driver working as a true team, that is always worth watching!

    That is really a cool image. It just wouldn't have been the same without the red jacket.

    These are great. I admire a guy who would get out in what looks like very cold weather and you for getting out there to take the photos.

    I used to drive past this farm every Saturday morning, and its nice to know they are still there. I expect they're getting ready for Mohawk Raceways.
